Summary: In this paper, uniformly distributed micropatterns were successfully produced on the surface of synthetic diamond using spherical Ti powder etching technique. The effects of spherical Ti powder particle size and etching temperature on the size and depth of the micropatterns were investigated. Importantly, diamond etching was achieved using Ti powder without appearance of graphitization. This work is of significance for the customization of micropatterns on diamond surface and can further expand the application of diamond.

Summary: Zinc-substituted fluorohydroxyapatite/beta-tricalcium phosphate (ZFHA/beta-TCP) nanocrystals were synthesized using a solid-state method. The presence of single-phase Zn2+-doped FA was confirmed by XRD analysis and electron microscopy showed spheroidal nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution. ZFHA/beta-TCP exhibited strong antibacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and the substituted structure developed an apatite layer in simulated body fluid.

Summary: The chemical and physical properties of coal dust particles significantly affect the inhalation of respirable coal dust by miners, leading to lung diseases such as CWP and silicosis. Various experimental techniques were used to comprehensively investigate the properties of micron-/nano-coal particles, showing that nano-coal dust has higher carbon content and aromaticity, lower oxygen content, and reduced oxygen-containing functional groups compared to micron-scale coal dust. The increased pore volume and surface area in nano-coal dust, estimated by low-pressure CO2 and N-2 adsorption, suggest potentially higher toxicity when inhaled by coal miners due to weaker wettability and enhanced surface area.

Summary: N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) react with carbodiimides (CDIs) to form betaine adducts with tunable properties, whose stability depends on substituents on CDI nitrogens and configuration is influenced by NHC substituents. Despite being in the early stages, these adducts have been utilized as ligands for transition metals and nanoparticles, as connection points in zwitterionic polymers, and to stabilize distonic radical cations.

Summary: Diamond surface functionalization has attracted significant research interest, particularly H-termination due to its ability to enhance surface conductivity. This study focused on exploring the attachment of different functional groups, such as nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms, on the diamond surface and their impact on electronic structure. The functionalized diamond surfaces were found to possess higher conductivity than H-terminated diamonds and showed a downshift in the conduction band minimum and valence band maximum, indicating a reduced bandgap. These findings suggest the potential of heteroatom functionalizations on diamond surfaces for various electronic applications.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of hydrogen treatment on polycrystalline CVD diamond layers with different grain sizes, oxidized through UV ozone and low-temperature thermal processes. It reveals that microcrystalline and nanocrystalline diamond layers exhibit different oxidation behavior, with microcrystalline samples being more susceptible to oxidation during UV treatment. The structural studies also indicate a slight ordering of amorphous carbon phase in the microcrystalline sample with the largest diamond grains.

Summary: In this study, highly crystalline layered SnSe nanoribbons were grown using a simple solution-phase approach. The use of PVP as a templating agent allowed for selective passivation of certain facets, resulting in unique growth of nanoribbons along their b-axis with a defined zigzag edge state. The SnSe nanoribbons exhibited few layers, wide widths, and achievable lengths, with the ability to produce them in high quantities in a single batch experiment. The use of non-toxic PVP as a replacement for toxic amines in other forms of SnSe is an important advantage for sustainable and environmentally friendly applications. The heat transport properties of the SnSe nanoribbons, determined through power-dependent Raman spectroscopy, demonstrate their potential as thermoelectric materials.

Summary: This study compared the early stages of graphitization of DND source under two different annealing atmospheres and found that the atmosphere significantly impacts the graphitization kinetics. More sp(2)-C was formed under vacuum compared to argon at the same temperature, with carbon hydrogen bonds formed on the DND surface during annealing regardless of atmosphere. The nano effect of DND's <10 nm size was highlighted in XPS analysis, where HR-TEM images showed that graphitization was limited to the first outer shell even at 1100°C under vacuum.

Summary: Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) self-assemble into fractal-like aggregates in water, with two particle aggregate populations observed. The presence of salt does not significantly affect the size or shape of the aggregates. As DND concentration increases, the aggregates become denser and change shape from disk-like to rod-like. This study contributes to the understanding of DNDs' colloidal properties and potential future applications.

Summary: This paper investigates the friction and wear behaviors of two types of polycrystalline diamonds against different materials. The results show that increasing surface roughness leads to an increase in coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction and wear rate of ceramic Si3N4 balls are generally lower than those of steel GCr15 balls, except for one type of polycrystalline diamond. Transfer films of SiO2 and its hydrate are observed at the friction interface, which contribute to smoother friction and wear. Carbon-based transfer films are also identified, mainly catalyzed by residual cobalt in the polycrystalline diamonds, leading to a phase transformation.

Summary: A single-beam Z-Scan experiment was conducted to investigate the nonlinear optical absorption and optical limiting properties of Bi2O3, rGO/Bi2O3, Bi2O3/WO3, and rGO/Bi2O3/WO3 nanostructures. The results showed that the synthesized nanostructures exhibited varying levels of nonlinear absorption, with bismuth-based nanostructures showing the lowest optical limiting threshold and a higher two-photon absorption coefficient. The presence of rGO contributed to the extended conjugation for charge transfer, while the strong UV-Visible absorption of Bi2O3 and WO3 led to a unique nonlinear optical response.

Summary: The recent observations of superconductive-ordering in carbon-based systems consisting of rhombohedral stacking-faults, trilayer graphene (ABC-stacks) or dislocation-rich interfaces (pyrolytic graphite) have attracted significant attention. In this study, an unusual nucleation of rhombohedral stacking-faults in low-dimensional systems comprising of multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypapers was reported. The presence of sulfur doping resulted in a broad-band at the Raman shift from 1800 to 2000 cm(-1), indicating contributions arising from disorder-rich regions with rhombohedral stacking-order (ABC-stacks). These observations were further supported by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinements.
